The facade was gone now as Zahara's face was red as blood, the poker face disolved in a look of silent astonishment when she teased him, icy shivers through his spine and fiery boil in the face. It wasn't helped he could feel her intentions, the underlying feeling of Soga and of course his own smug attitude crumbling away into one of hurt pride and embaressment. He looked at her when she whispered in his ear and the grin came back once more. A wordless acknowledgement to her, another little win for her. But of course, my lady. He thought, rolling off to his side when she too gotten up.
He was consumed with the moment but kept his awareness when Soga gave reports on what had exactly transpired. It was a hint of bias in a few of the events as they were retold, but he couldn't blame the woman one bit. She was loyal to the village, for the people and their wellbeing and Zahara respected that. He was picking the Samehada off the floor when he was listening to the report, the sword was a quiet beast until the moment he touched the hilt and it came alive with an excited chitter and wiggled in place even as he hung it across his back on the special leather strap for it.
Calm, Geniki. Zahara thought, flicking the pommel of the sword as he contemplated his thought process. There were a few things that stood out to him in Master Bunraku's report, Zahara recovered his composure now to formulate his thoughts in a coherent matter. "I'd request a copy of a report, if you will." Zahara chimed in suddenly as he was inspecting his sword before he crossed his arms and leaned on a wall. It was a dry response, he normally didn't care of what happened and only done his tasks in secret.
"I would request that an open mind is kept on the subject of Nagakaborous, there's a lot more to that can of worms than that meets the eye." He began as he gestured one hand along with the flow of his speech, a habit he done sometimes as he continued. "There's only a handful in this world that would even utter that name, I am one and my mentor Kya Uchiha was another along with her sisters. One of whom would be Nava, I've fought her in the skies of Gimangakure and blinded her left eye during our brief encounter. If I am correct in assuming that's who it is, then it concerns me in more ways than one, I rather give the second side to that report, it's important."
He kept it brief as possible but wanted to make it known then and there to those present on what it meant to him. "You would be branding myself as said Zealot, Master Bunraku."
Lord of Death, seems the flow is coming to swallow more. What triggered, Nava? Puzzling... Truly.

Valkyrie Prima approached the desk and bowed to the Madame Kage. Unfortunately cutting the time of the Leaf kenoichi, it wouldn't take long. She opened the scroll that she set on the desk and looked at Lahili " I'm Valkyrie Prima of Belvoir. " She pointed down at the scroll, everything that she was saying was carefully written within the scroll. Things were carefully planned and perfectly clear " My Dikastes would like your cooperation in our investigation. She quite admires women in power, so she thought your cooperation would be favorable."
She stepped away from the desk and kept her hands where they could be seen,
For a visit being chopped shorter than anticipated Sadayo still felt well about it. The bulk of what she had to say was managed and all was left were the little details regarding creepy crows and heightened actvity. Trivial details, maybe, but to an intelligence agency all knowledge was good knowledge. The Director's refined facade, which seem to just bend for the earnest twinkle in her eye, however remained sturdy with Lahlil's interest and hardened with Zahara's interest. Frankly, she wasn't anticipating a response right away from the former absentee. He plucked the missing word between her lines and orally, bluntly battered her chest with a blatant reality Sadayo was plainly steering clear of. So long as they stood in mixed company wasting her breath toward any arguments regarding of her sentiments was a short-sighted deal she wouldn't cave into. .Her attention was centered but flickered back and forth between Lahlil and her love interest amidst a one slow, thoughtful blink and a long breath. At face value this topic was veering from anything but a wholesome subject for either side. Her parting words were voiced flatly. Genuine in nature but her neutral stare could offer up a blurring position. But a gentle raise of her head, tilting slightly with came about as she surrendered and withdrew from a would-be touchy topic. "Then become their salvation."
It is here, as Sadayo turns away from Lahlil and her company, that it's worth noting how the JUEI Director and Coda were essentially the same height and arguably even the same weight."Coda," the Director began, facing the open door and shifting slightly to face her. She could speak more quietly wiithout some fussy, awkward bend of her neck. "We'll be in touch," she said upon another shift in her step before finally taking her leave through the doorway. "More so if you seek the shadows under our tree. "

Coda gave a small nod in acknowledgement of Sadayo on her way out. She quite liked the sound of shadows, personally, but even if she had been dismissed the current goings on in the office intrigued her enough to stick around. "It's a wonder you all don't tire from the sheer gravity of your planet sized egos." She said in a scathing, but upbeat tone of sarcasm directed towards everyone, but mostly towards Zahara and his invocation of melodramatic lot from the crow lands, before posting up at one side of the the massive window that overlooked the village. As a former comrade in arms, of the literal variety, she also couldn't help but take a poke at the wielder of Samehada.
Coda wasn't really one for political maneuvering and closed door dealing. She valued the people in the streets far more than those that spent their time indulging in the shinobi world's various fantasies. More than herself, or anyone else in this gaudy building. After all, it was a rare member of the shinobi class that tilled a field or even hammered steel in their free time - in spite of how much those that did the latter liked to brag about their pitifully unproductive endeavors. All these facades would crumble in the absence of what really mattered, which rarely seemed to be the people in the tall towers - at least from her experience in Uzushiogakure and the Land of Tea before it. If Lahlil had forgotten Coda's general distaste for the villages and broader world stage, then she'd be getting a generally refreshed picture at this point. The Yozen couldn't quite recall if they'd ever discussed the peculiar nature of her own arrival at the village, or odd relationship with the shinobi lifestyle. She considered hanging it all up when Shibuki got taken away, wandering off back to some land in between. Anywhere but Tea or one of the villages. But she'd originally shown up in Uzu largely thanks to a loss of purpose. And though she found herself in a oddly contradictory circumstance, the villages did not lack for that particular commodity. Or, at least, a simulacrum of it. And so she paused here to hear out the strange woman with the missive, and see if that illusion might be cast upon herself once again.
โ Persistent Modifiers โท Yozen: Fuuinjutsu techniques require [10] less chakra per body rank of the Yozen clansman (maximum of 60 at S+) without losing their potency.
Mach Style Training:
Make taijutsu complex, and "punch" ninjutsu orbs as projectiles. When in the shooter stance, the strength and speed of their strikes is increased by [2] points instead of [1] point per rank. This training requires five posts.
Channeling Martial Skill Training:
Ability for techniques to carry two elemental properties. Ability to add bloodline elements.
Flowing Arts Training:
After this skill is trained, any attack that follows a dodge or evasive technique is treated as a counterattack, and the user's total bonus to agility can be attributed to the strength of the next attack. When this ability is performed it cannot be used the following post.
Once every three posts, the user may utilize an offensive technique that targets a specific part of the target's body that would disrupt their attack. This offensive attack deals damage regularly but allows the user to use their remaining activations as offensive as well. Kyotoryuu Training:
As a result of intensive training geared toward defensive and evasive maneuvers, the Kyotouryuu practitioner can now effectively react to an opponent by converting their speed into an agility boost for two posts with a three post cooldown. This requires no activation or resource cost. Kaiser Fist Training:
The user's armor retains it's former effects. Now, the armor emits a crackling, bright, white hot chakra that appears like a thin aura around the user. The chakra causes mild burns on contact. In addition, the user gains a [1] point increase to strength and speed per rank of the armor.
This training adds to the previous effects of the Kaiser armor's technique. In addition to that, the target's armor now allows them to regenerate 10 stamina per rank of chakra applied to each technique while the armor is active. The user may not generate more stamina than their reserves may hold.
The final stage of training for the Kaiser Armor. In addition to it's previous effects, the Kaiser armor now causes searing burns upon contact that blister due to the crackling chakra. Additionally, the user's strength and speed are increased by [1] point per rank of the armor instead of it's original [1] point. Taijutsu and bukijutsu techniques used while this armor is active create shock waves five feet in the direction of the attack per rank of the technique.
Mirror Image Arts Training:
After learning the Shadow Clone Technique from the maruton list, the user may cast the Shadow Clone technique in conjunction with techniques from this style to replace mirror images with the clones. Casting Shadow Clones in this manner does not consume an activation.
The user has learned to control their chakra in a fine manner which allows them to create an additional mirror image per rank of the technique it is executed with. These additional images do not increase the strength of the parent technique.
Immediately after Coda spoke, and not long after the Spook had taken her leave of the office, there was a certain familiar rumble in the room, followed by a poof of smoke that saw a woman flung into existence, landing on the floor, bent to one knee, and entirely off balance. <********, okay I didn't think it would work this way, but here I am, Zahara. As promised," she spoke trying to stand but finding herself, even with her EMS activated, unable to reconcile her suddenly entirely new placement in the universe. NaKya had always complained about multiversal transportation when Sanae had done it, and now she was seeing it was hereditary. Still, as the room spun for her normal vision... her chakra sense remained sharp as she cast a look around, taking in a ******** of new information fairly easily.
Coda's chakra was familiar, from the battle that had taken place so recently. Hell, so recently that the boat was likely not even docked back in the land of fire yet. Meanwhile, Nava had a quick method by which to get here, and so she'd done so with her little friendship seal with Zahara. Seeing the girl now made her focus the full breadth of her ability to see into the spirit of an individual on her and saw within her so damn much potential that she couldn't help herself but to smile and wave as the "color" returned to her pale cheeks. "Oh, hey again," she said standing tall and proud all of 5'3 in her heels. Still, she turned to look at Zahara with the same scrutiny and it took an instant for her to see everything she needed to.
He was aiight, and that was good enough for her, even beyond how embarrassed he seemed in the moment.
With that piercing veil of sight, she saw the Valkyrie woman, and determined she could just ignore them for now. More amusing was that through the floor and walls she bore witness to Sadayo's chakra signature leaving. "Oh, so she was here too," she chuckled turning her gaze at last to Lahill.
Now her she took an interest in.
So sinister
So corrupt and full of darkness.
So damn pretty. She stared despite herself, with full scrutiny. "Okay, so I'm Nava, and I used to work under the Uzukage, I work witht he Emperor now, and Zahara is my star pupil. Didn't mean to interrupt I just needed to find him and tell him what happened just now with the sun and it seems like you probably know and were probably busy so I'm gonna sit down over here and we can hash it out once your business is done."
Word vomit casually complete, and inner storm still raging from the s**t with Zhi, Nava sat down in the corner, legs crossed as if she somehow belonged there.
Absently she wondered if Lahill remembered Kya and Nava enough to recognize her now.
Absently cause her interruption would likely not be well received if she didn't stop talking.

tab tabNothing but a healthy cheerfulness was worn on Lahlil's face. Their time together, despite its scarcity, had left stripped away much of the enigma the Zahra had used to hide from others. A fact that she thoroughly enjoyed for the power it gave over him, among other reasons too of course. However, knowing somebody so deeply also meant that she knew how he would react to certain provocations. His response to Sadayo had been calculated and was the precise reason why she would be continuing the conversation behind doors where the public felt less inclined to... barge right in. Lahlil finished her thought at the same moment as Nava's sudden appearance in her office, to which the kage didn't respond to. Not even when the woman addressed her directly. Lahlil had a guest she was already meeting with, after all, and the casual glance that she threw towards the dust wielding Uchiha already told her everything she could have needed to know at that moment. [ Passive sensory field, 35ft ]With attention fully returned to Miss Prima, the Hokage motioned for her to continue. "I find myself curious how the leaf could possibly be of use, however, I do welcome the excuse to meet with your leaders all the same. Are they here now?"

Passive(s) Effects:
_โง Blood Moon Magic ____โฆ Use of blood as a component can be quite costly no matter who or what you are, but the Saiketsu learned that their own Chakra need not be the only fuel for their jutsu. Especially when it is so abundant. Blood Moon Magic allows a Saiketsu user to use the opponent's blood rather than just their own to fuel techniques the Saiketsu user uses so long as it's no longer in contact with the opponent's body and has been around for one post. Taking this Pa will grant a pair of fangs hearkening to the day of the blood moon and while not necessary will come with possible vampiric tendencies. Grants access to Kenketsu, and Chi - Saikuru.
_โง Parlor Tricks ____โฆย Lahlil has become so mastered at the use of fuuninjutsu that whenever she casts a use of flying thunder god or the fuunin specific shuushin, she may leave behind or have placed at her transported location, a fuunin seal from the another ability placed automatically. This essentially changes the casting location for the paired ability while still consuming an activation and chakra. To be clear this PA makes it so that as long as she has the activation and resources to do so, Lahlil can simultaneously cast another fuunin with flying thunder god or the fuunin shuushin.
_โง Shared Information ____โฆ All information gathered by anyone who is a part of the telepathic network is shared with the group, not just that by the Yamanaka. This does require the Sensing Transmission technique from below.
_โง Shadow Sealer ____โฆ Nara jutsu may apply seals.
_โงย Peerless Summoner ____โฆ You are more specialized in summoning and sealing than sensory. You are allowed to have a mirrored amount of your total ninjutsu slots granted by this class exclusively reserved for sealing. In addition, all sealing techniques are considered overwhelming when in collision with other techniques of the same rank. This benefit only applies to techniques S-ranked and below. Finally, if you are able to summon any contract summon regardless of a bloodline connection of a signed user of a summoning contract you are able to summon beings at one rank lower than normally required and 50 chakra and stamina is granted to them per rank of the summoned creature starting at 50 for D-Rank and ending with 250 for the boss summon, or 300 if a mythical summon is contracted. The user's summoned creatures are able to use any ninjutsu the user has access to that they share an element for as well as any genjutsu, taijutsu, and bukijutsu. Your summoned creature's unique techniques are considered overwhelming at S-rank and below in collisions.
____โฆ Somnifarious Sight _โงย Latent vampiric powers from the Bat Lord have manifested inside Lahlil despite his death. As such Lahlil has found herself now able to replace the use of handseals with subtle eye movement. This still takes the same amount of time to perform as normal handseals.
____โฆ Battlefield Presence _โง he user's powerful presence on the battlefield strikes terror into their foes. Opponents are able to sense the user's terrifying fighting spirit five feet from the user per body rank of the user through chakra sense. Those within range can have this radiating fearful aura become the trigger for genjutsu, allowing genjutsu to be cast by acknowledging the user. In addition, should an opponent be targeted by a melee technique that is greater in rank than the target's body rank that target has tier two paralysis applied to their legs, requiring it to be broken by Kai equal to the user's body rank, costing the target no activation for that specific instance of kai.
____โฆ Infinite Perception _โง Your specialty is more in sensory than in sealing or summoning. You are able to discover things such as demon chakra, or the type of technique that is about to be active (Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, etc.), even specifics such as Bloodline type and rank from any active sensory technique. This discipline allows the user to be able to sense their enemyโs ninjutsu attacks and their composition, which grants a -2 rank reduction to dodging with the dodge mechanic X-ranked skill so long as it was used within the range of the userโs sensory abilities. You can release yourself from genjutsu at one rank lower in kai chakra release but with no benefit in pain release. In addition, the user's sensory abilities are extended fifty feet per rank of the technique. As a master tracker, you can advance in the ninja hunter and special ops careers for half as many Oinin Butai and ANBU missions completed. Upon reaching Initiate in Oinin Butai, you gain the Eagle Eye perk innately so you can choose one other Oinin perk as well. When you use a sensory technique with jamming you can double the jamming effect, this ability applies to one technique per three posts.
____โฆย Scholar โ Scholar _โง You may pick 2 of its disciplines. Additionally, fuuinjutsu and sensory techniques used by this specialization are reduced in chakra cost by five per rank with a minimum of five chakra.ย

The Prima wanted to address the child that spoke but it wasn't in her nature to stoop to that of a child. Her mission was to talk to the Hokage not to engage in useless bantor with someone that didn't matter in the end... Prima was salty. She stood there and listened as another person came in and need to speak with the Hokage as well " Before you get too busy..." She rolled up the scroll and placed it in her pocket " You can find my mistress just south of here in Castle Belvoir. She will most likely be expecting you. "

Zahara Kevali Dead Man Walking
... I am the Serpent ...
As if things couldn't get anymore interesting in the ol' office, things tend to get exciting whenever he returned to the village and this probably hit its peak. The sharkskin blade was reduced in size with a wave of Zahara's hand into its blue pineapple shape as he huffed a little, cheeks still flush from Lahlil's little... surprise. He glanced at Lahlil with a slight smile and breathed out, now he turned his gaze to the foreigner and held the stare for a few seconds even as the scroll he carried jostled in its pouch. A hand clap on Zahara's shoulder alerted the man as he looked in shock to his side, Kya appeared to him in a sudden flash and was gone soon as he blinked as Nava was speaking of the promise. Not saying anything, he regained his composure but couldn't help but stare at Nava.
These eyes of mine are burdened with the Truth... He thought absently as the two sized one another up when she was looking at him. He forgot how short Nava was, but he looked away and spun the pineapple on a finger nonchalantly and paced the floor out of boredom. A chuckle as the fiery truth bearer spoke more, he was getting a kick out of the coincidence and connection of all the ******** going on. Truthfully, he found Coda's remark funny and he had taken it in stride with everything else here.
"Hey, Nava. I'm your Salvation." He chirped when she was finally done and sat down, spinning Geniki on his finger as the pineapple chittered away as he spun the sentient fruit. A heavy plop on the floor, casual as he could be as he tossed the fruit once then caught it and set it on the floor between him and Nava.
"So, I was right in assuming you were involved. They were just talking about you, saying the name and linking it to Jashin." He had to keep from laughing then to not disturb the present company as he crossed his arms and leaned back. "Catch me up to speed, Matani." The word was used respectfully while with a humorous tone. "Trying to make more friends like back in Giman or is this actually serious." Zahara dropped his little tone and looked at Nava now with a stern gaze, from the report he already heard it was serious. A small glance to the pair talking with a move of his eyes and then he settled back on her.
I'm going to punch you in the damn mouth later, Nava... he thought, still hurt the time he had with Lahlil been cut short by all the interruptions.

Coda rolled her eyes at Nava's entrance. At least she didn't seem to have actually noticed more than a presence. That was a hole she needed to patch though. Transformations would be completely useless otherwise. None of that would be done here though, and it was as obvious now as ever that she wasn't part of the shinobi club. That had its uses, and she wasn't clamoring to go play soldier. Still... Zahara could chuckle all day, and Nava could remember that she was around, but Coda wasn't stepping to anyone here, and no one here was there for her. She shrugged her jacket back up on her shoulders and headed for the door without another word. Might as well find something that even just feigned productivity than sit around being a fly on the wall for conversations that'd never involve her. She wondered what the Chunin equivalent of cleaning crap off a wall was. Probably just cleaning it off a slightly higher wall.

Zahara had a way of digging under her skin with his words, which had always been part of the reason Kya knew he'd make a strong apprentice before she died.

She reached into her sleeve, pulling a half eaten mango free and using a kunai from her pouch to shear away the remaining skin, placing each piece atop Geniki. "I don't rightly care what she thinks. I'm more interested in if these worthless idiots are finally going to start trying to make things happen. She came here, tattled to the great Hokage, and left? It's nice to see that, since my time in the Vortex, she's just as contemptably stagnant. As for the rest of what happened..." she trailed off.
"I tried to keep the sun turned off, my friend. I don't think your messenger girl would have kept that from you. I, and the Nagakana, were there alongside Wulfram and Lillian. I saw crying children in the bodies of shinobi, Belamos killed himself to turn it back on, and Zhi ******** with the flow of time so I summoned Hakkon and tried to kill half of them. In the end, a small test is a test nonetheless and everyone of them failed," she sharply explained. And very poorly.
"Wulfram is on my list. He needs uninhibiting. Lilian too. Sadayo, for any name she's made for herself, is who she always was and will be so far as I can see. Zhi and I need to have a talk. Hell, now that I think about it the more I think that the whole world needs another shock. Is this serious?" She stood up. "As a heart attack. Forget it," she spoke kneeling on the balls of her feet and sighting." "I said ebfore, I'm here to learn how the ******** melee combat works, and you're the only person I trust to teach. If you want, I will stick around for a few weeks while you and the Lady Hokage," she addressed with a nod of her head, "Handle the details surrounding my actions and what you want to do about it. And let you get back to whatever has you so flustered."

Zahara Kevali Dead Man Walking
... I am the Serpent ...
It was a lot to take in at once, he listened intently and shifted where he sat more than once. So much hate, fury, but clear on the goals. It was clear she wasn't a fan of the spook, yet he still listened as he eyeballed the shrunken form of his sword chittering quietly as the mango slivers were out on it. It shook a little, sucking the chakra from Nava a little at a time and Zahara thumped the fruit with the back of his hand. Geniki quieted after than, ceasing to munch as it rolled on its side. A toothy grin broke the facade of the fruit disguise as Geniki ate the mango slivers instead, dozens of teeth crunching.
"I don't think I'd... follow such words of the Bunraku Spook." He would begin to say with a light shrug, his eyes fixated on what the hell his sword was doing but he looked back at Nava and left Geniki to do... whatever Geniki's did. He was juggling all the names in his head during the curt explanation she was running on about, piecing what he could and cross-referencing from Sadayo's words. A shake of his head, the flow of time being altered? And the denial of a natural flow of death. He looked at Nava for a moment and and breathed out and didn't say anything as she went on about the people she was going to see..
Zahara was in a deep thought as he contemplated the whole thing, scratching at his arms absently and found it annoying to sit still. Antsy. Only word to describe it. The little pin pricks of his senses, he could feel it. It was as if he was in the trial again, feeling the same thing before everything changed. Now it was just him, and his own jealousy writhing up an internal storm. He placed his hand on the chittering fruit and picked it back up as the blade complained in its garble of chirps. "When does someone finally die, Nava? When they fall in battle or to old age?" He handled his fruit for a moment and nestled the creature on the leather strap he normally kept it in, leaving the question settle in before he continued. "When they're forgotten. When silence falls upon the memory." A hard stare to the floor as he gave his thoughts on the whole sun god mess, the rebirth of a god? Erase its name, give not the memory to the damned thing, a surefire way to keep it quiet afterall.
"Perhaps..." he finally spoke again as he drifted his gaze to Lahlil instead and he continued. "Perhaps, you need to be the change that you wish to see in the world." He looked back at her and also stood up, brushing off his clothes and heaved a heavy sigh. Nava wanted to be trained in combat, yet his mind was on other thing as he took a couple steps past her toward Lahlil. "Sure, but... Could it wait a bit?" He said to her request of training in CQC, his back turned to Nava still as he looked at Lahlil. A smile. He let his intent be known to Nava who would pick up on his sudden hostility.
He turned without warning as the loose fabric of his kimono billowed with the semi-circle spin, a two fingered thrust thrown as they were aglow with chakra going right for Nava's good eye. The senjutsu flowed from his body in that split second, golden senjutsu would coming alive alive while the feeling of snake fear would creep in for just a moment. As quick the thrust was thrown, he stopped at the very last second to where his fingers were a centimeter away from her eye, red bakuton chakra flickered like an ember at his fingertip. If her eye activated, Nava would be able to see the mix of three chakras in his hand; katon, sennin and bakuton. He pulled his arm back and his emotions didn't radiate such hostile intent anymore as he straightened his kimono out.
Zahara smiled like an idiot. "You're interrupting quality time with my girlfriend, Nava. Perhaps tomorrow?" He nodded slowly and clapped his hands together. "Be the change that you wish to see, a god without a memory is a god dead. But. Please." Another strained smile, ******** the jealousy was like a crab in boiling water. "Tomorrow, I promise." He glanced at Lahlil then and then to Nava. There were big things to come... But.
He just wanted to talk with the lass for a few.

With a hop, Nava was on the windowsill, grunting at Zahara much the same way a younger sister does hearing their sibling talking about sex. "Whatever, paylangi. If I cause some s**t to explode or stir someones pot, you'll be the reason why. Ill be around," she said quite simply, falling in reverse. Then, with a whoosh, she was flying with a playful chuckle off into the village proper to find some chaos to stir up.

tab tab Pitter pattering her hands about the desk, Lahlil did her best to look busy even when she was anything but. Papers she had overlooked weeks ago but hadn't cleared off her desk were now an excuse to pretend she wasn't eavesdropping, if you could even call it that, on Zahara and this new stranger. I thought she was here to see me, so why are they STILL talking? Impatience and jealousy filled Lahlil, though she still had enough respect to at least not confront him in public. It was fine though, all that meant was he would have hell to pay once she left, which from the sound of it was in 3... 2... 1.
The snap happened immediately, shadows in every corner darkened in perfect reflection of the glowering kage who sat as the queen of them all. Like waves of water, they collided and crashed with each other, such that there could be no space in the small room to stand other than the ceiling or walls. If there was any doubt as to the reasoning of her disposition it would be swiftly banished by her next icy words. "Na-vuh? You say it rather affectionately, don't you." An absolute, Lahlil didn't speak it as a question, she had already decided his guilt. If Zahara remained attached to the floor in any way at this point, he would find his movements restricted as the darkness latched its greedy hold onto him. "But what about her, Zahara? Should I take out those eyes of yours so they can't see anyone else?"
Technique(s) Used:
Relevant PA's:
Born in Shadow | All Imitation techniques gain [1] additional use before they are weakened. Additionally, the user's clan techniques are considered one rank higher when attempting to break free.
_โง Shadow Dancing [ Kage no Mai ] | Rank S The effect of this jutsu is twofold. First, all shadows may now be used as portals for movement. This includes those from other jutsu, but not those under the opponent's control. Transportation is considered instant but the user the act of entering the portals is not. Secondly, all Nara Clan jutsu affected become more physical and harder to dispel, granting them a two rank increase when attempting to break free of other Nara possession jutsu. If stacking bonuses would bring this to over S+ rank (such as a Ino-shika-cho formation) then it grants overwhelming instead of being lost. Lasts for [ 12 ] posts.
_โง Shadow of the Crescent Moon Forest [ Kage no Gengetsu Mori ] | Rank S Using chakra to flood their shadow, the Nara will grow it outward to eclipse an entire 30ft space underneath the user. As opponents step onto the shadow, the user may use it to mimic the effects of any Nara Clan jutsu, as if cast at the A rank level. Furthermore, for each opponent beyond the first the user may expend an additional A-ranked of chakra in order to replicate use of said jutsu without paying multiple activations to do so. For the purposes of imitations techniques, the circle of shadow is considered to always be in contact with the target's shadow if they are moving on it. Similar to other Nara Clan jutsu, Shadow of the Crescent Moon Forest itself is immune to conventional attacks. ( i.e. attacks aimed at it will destroy the ground but the shadow will remain there afterward. Barriers are exempt from this ) but does not change this for other jutsu that may not immune to collisions. Lasts for [ 5 ] of the user's posts.
_โง Shadow Posession Technique [ Kagemane no Jutsu ] | Rank C What can be considered the 'bread and butter' of the Nara Clan, the Shadow Possession Technique is the basis by which all other Nara jutsu were created around. By applying chakra to their shadow the Nara may extend it out as far as they wish or may even split it in order to capture multiple opponents at once, or create multiple avenues of attack that must be defended against. No matter how it is used, the effect remains the same, if the target's shadow comes into contact with the Possession Technique they are immediately considered possessed and unable to take any action aside from mimicking the Nara. Even small things such as talking or eye movements are kept under lock and key until the jutsu ends. Breaking this effect requires the user to pay stamina equal to one rank higher than this technique, and only after the target has been trapped for a full post. If used on the target more than two times in a fight, then the one post waiting period is negated and only the same rank stamina is needed to break free. Additionally, this shadow being manipulated is considered to be intangible when interacting with normal attack collisions. Barriers are excluded from this.
_โง
Technique(s) Active:
_โง
_โง
_โง
Upkeep(s) Active:
_โง
_โง
_โง
Passive(s) Effects:
____โง
____โง Parlor Tricks | Lahlil has become so mastered at the use of fuuninjutsu that whenever she casts a use of flying thunder god or the fuunin specific shuushin, she may leave behind or have placed at her transported location, a fuunin seal from another ability placed automatically. This essentially changes the casting location for the paired ability while still consuming an activation and chakra. To be clear this PA makes it so that as long as she has the activation and resources to do so, Lahlil can simultaneously cast another fuunin with flying thunder god or the fuunin shuushin.
____โง Shared Information | All information, sensory or otherwise, gathered by anyone who is a part of the telepathic network is shared with the group, not just the Yamanaka. This does require the Sensing Transmission technique from below. Additionally, the user is granted a passive field around themselves that offers that minor sensory capabilities ( limited to sensing the origin point of incoming jutsu ) but can ultimately be upgraded if of the Infinite Perception discipline. This field is limited to five feet per body rank.
____โง Born in Shadow | All Imitation techniques gain [1] additional use before they are weakened. Additionally, the user's clan techniques are considered one rank higher when attempting to break free.
____โง Peerless Summoner | You are more specialized in summoning and sealing than sensory. You are allowed to have a mirrored amount of your total ninjutsu slots granted by this class exclusively reserved for sealing. In addition, all sealing techniques are considered overwhelming when in collision with other techniques of the same rank. This benefit only applies to techniques S-ranked and below. Finally, if you are able to summon any contract summon regardless of a bloodline connection of a signed user of a summoning contract you are able to summon beings at one rank lower than normally required and 50 chakra and stamina is granted to them per rank of the summoned creature starting at 50 for D-Rank and ending with 250 for the boss summon, or 300 if a mythical summon is contracted. The user's summoned creatures are able to use any ninjutsu the user has access to that they share an element for as well as any genjutsu, taijutsu, and bukijutsu. Your summoned creature's unique techniques are considered overwhelming at S-rank and below in collisions.
_โง Somniferous Sight | Latent vampiric powers from the Bat Lord have manifested inside Lahlil despite his death. As such Lahlil has found herself now able to replace the use of handseals with subtle eye movement. This still takes the same amount of time to perform as normal handseals.
_โง Battlefield Presence | he user's powerful presence on the battlefield strikes terror into their foes. Opponents are able to sense the user's terrifying fighting spirit five feet from the user per body rank of the user through chakra sense. Those within range can have this radiating fearful aura become the trigger for genjutsu, allowing genjutsu to be cast by acknowledging the user. In addition, should an opponent be targeted by a melee technique that is greater in rank than the target's body rank that target has tier two paralysis applied to their legs, requiring it to be broken by Kai equal to the user's body rank, costing the target no activation for that specific instance of kai.
_โง Infinite Perception | Your specialty is more in sensory than in sealing or summoning. You are able to discover things such as demon chakra, or the type of technique that is about to be active (Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, etc.), even specifics such as Bloodline type and rank from any active sensory technique. This discipline allows the user to be able to sense their enemyโs ninjutsu attacks and their composition, which grants a -2 rank reduction to dodging with the dodge mechanic X-ranked skill so long as it was used within the range of the userโs sensory abilities. You can release yourself from genjutsu at one rank lower in kai chakra release but with no benefit in pain release. In addition, the user's sensory abilities are extended fifty feet per rank of the technique. As a master tracker, you can advance in the ninja hunter and special ops careers for half as many Oinin Butai and ANBU missions completed. Upon reaching Initiate in Oinin Butai, you gain the Eagle Eye perk innately so you can choose one other Oinin perk as well. When you use a sensory technique with jamming you can double the jamming effect, this ability applies to one technique per three posts.
_โง Scholar โ Scholar | You may pick 2 of its disciplines. Additionally, fuuinjutsu and sensory techniques used by this specialization are reduced in chakra cost by five per rank with a minimum of five chakra.
_โง
_โง Blood Magic | The user's ninjutsu are able to be converted into blood that assumes the same size and shape as the ninjutsu used to create it. If the ninjutsu had an effect such as burning, burns, paralysis, etc, that effect is still in effect as the blood acts in a similar fashion to the original technique. After being cast, this blood remains active upon the battlefield. In addition, the sight of blood in such masses causes tiered mental stress based on technique rank for three posts unless kai is used. Additionally, the user's blood pool is increased by 10 per body rank, allowing them to utilize their stored blood more efficiently.
_โง Corrupted Life-force | The user's blood has been tainted by the clan's cursed lineage. Their blood has a diseased nature, applying tiered disease upon entering the target's system depending on the user's body rank. A ranked amount of chakra can be applied to the user's blood to make it acidic and cause an equal amount of damage depending on the amount of chakra applied.
_โง Crimson Swordsman | The clansman is adept at using bladed weapons and excels at slashing foes asunder. Injuries sustained by bladed weapons of the user bleed for an additional post per body rank of the user and reduce an additional five stamina per body rank of the user. Blood produced in this manner when viewed causes tier-one mental stress for three posts unless a D-Rank kai is used.
_โง Seal Jamming | Seals that are cast by Lahlil may have her scholar's jamming effect placed on them. This only applies the 'hidden from sensory effect' on them, however, and DOES NOT apply the jamming in an area. Only when attempting to locate the seals with doujutsu or sensory effects. This effect is limited to the rank = status tier applied rule.
_โง Heavy Handed | Lahlil's strikes have become particularly devastating, allowing them to mimic the ferocity usually delivered by great swords. Lahlil may now utilize two-handed bukijutsu styles using only her fists.
_โง Martial Mastery | Devoting herself to her physical training, Lahlil has become a paragon of the physical arts. Whenever she uses a technique that allows her to mix and match abilities for a single activation, she may increase the choices available to her to include any style (Including those from other types i.e. buki style to tai style). However, this follows normal performance restrictions. Meaning unless she has some means to (Such as a PA) she cannot mix a buki effect with a tai unless she could perform with her fist, or vice versa.

Zahara Kevali Dead Man Walking
... I am the Serpent ...
Things had, certainly escalated in a way he thought impossible, he was momentarily distracted by the insult uttered by the one eyed freak as he bared his fangs to a hiss only for the Kamui to warp her out of there. Paylangi!? A mental note to rip and tear into her when she did get a bit of close quarters training, literally he mused happily as he looked at his fingers and flexed them like claws. Geniki's chittering is what alarmed Zahara as he felt the sudden pang of his sense come alive as shadow covered the room, his eyes met Lahlil's in a bit of confusion. Golden eyes and senjutsu came alive out of instinct, he didn't draw the sword or assume any stance yet he was still on guard as his hands lowered to his sides. Passive for now, he listened to her words and found a bit of amusement in the situation as he took in the read of emotion. Oh. Well this is interesting. He was jealous of Nava's little admiring of the Kage, he hadn't considered how it would look to Lahlil; a recluse who carried a scroll bound to another woman and spoke oh so freely and had a sense of camaraderie with.
Zahara could feel the mental tug with Geniki as the stubborn sword was excited, wanting to feast yet he refused. Last time he fused with it he eat a literal fireball, there's not a need to devolve to a reptilian savage brain either. Instead he kept still as the shadows clung onto him as crimson red chakra sparked like electricity around his feet, the tell tale sign of his bakuton was primed. While it was Lahlil, he had kept his body primed for just in case he needed to protect himself. "Of course," he said in reply and pretended there was nothing wrong with the scene with a smile "we share similar philosophies in life but have chosen different paths."
The shadows clung and the body paralysis set in, he swallowed once and let his words be the way out of this one. She knew his fears more than anyone, while chickens were an abomination on the planet he was particularly careful of his eyes. Stay in motion. Stay focused. See the Truth. He was silent for a moment as he scanned her with his eyes, the byakugan alive for a moment as he surveyed the room to see blind spots in the shadow. None. The eyes went off and he smiled again, too proud to let his inner fear be seen. Excitement was another emotion in him and the sword wasn't within his mind at the moment.
"Are you jealous, my love?" A sincere question as the smile went away, he feigned a slight struggle and the smile came back. "Without these eyes I wouldn't be able to see you." a quip of truth. "Then make me yours, Lahlil. Brand your seal if you have to. Or..." Zahara trailed off as he pondered his thoughts and he felt a slight nervousness, just like their first date. His mind blanked, heart skipped a beat. "Lahlil." He said suddenly as he looked at her own eyes. "Will you marry me?" The damned warm face again, and he felt the skip again at what he just asked.
